Description paraquat 2005-06-05 19:45:37 UTC

In the ebuild, there's a check for the JDK 1.5.x, causing it to fail:

if (java-utils_is-vm-version-ge 1 5 0) ; then
   die "${P} cannot be compiled with a 1.5.x VM, set your system VM to a 1.4.x VM."
fi

This is no longer the case.  Eclipse builds with JDK 1.5, and has done so for at
least a few versions (in the 3.1 line anyway).  I just did it myself (by making
a new ebuild that removes that check).

Reproducible: Always

I have tested this too with java 1.5 as the compiler.

Irrelevant stale bug.
